The SteveAndTiff Dultimatum

[Asia 2,498]

Her reaction was to immediately say, "I'm watching TV!", which literally cracked me up.

Oh, that's the most popular reply in such situations!

Man I love chicken noodle soup.

Chicken noodle soup is the best for cold

At least that's why my grandma or my mom made me when I was sick

Mrs. T-B. does this, and even after 5 years still doesn't comprehend that one can make the same cup, plate, or whatever last all week if one is a single male or wishes to retain the efficient processes thereof, sigh man.

OMG, I must be a single male...

[Asia 2,498]

Hope you're having a great week!

I've been off, visiting my sister and we went to some rock concert on Tuesday. Had a great time!

(Crickets chirping) Glad that I can usually amuse myself here, sigh man...

And if not, many of us are amused at your writings when we arrive at a more normal time of day.

Went to see the movie Delivery Man last night. Got into a free prescreening so the wife and I ventured out on a weeknight, when normally we stay in. Its was a fairly good movie. Not a blockbuster hit but certainly enjoyable.

It's definitely wavy. A pitch i would expect.

Try like a Sakrete concrete resurfacer

Problem is if it is FHA we need to do a minimum of 5000 worth of work into the house, maybe more before they will let them get financing. It would cost less if we did it ourselves, but we don't have the time right now to do it. They won't allow the loan if even the floors aren't refinished or lots of little things are wrong. Our agreed upon price was As-Is and I don't want to put up repair money or the time right now without the guarantee of them buying it.

If the repairs are considered minor, the FHA will agree to hold an escrow and accept the repairs. But often this means that you'd have to agree to accept less money. Because this escrow (say 5000 dollars) is coming out of your $$

maybe a VA Loan ? I dunno.

Man I thought you're like the authority on real estate. This is not a VA loan.

I'm kind of hoping since they are both in their 50s that it might be? Guess we will find out tomorrow.

There is always that 203k thing for the FHA...I suppose.

Don't you think a veteran in his 50s, active or retired, would have had a first home by now? VA loans are generally one time use. And....there's a cap on the amount....depends on the sale price. I think for NYC, they'll lend upto 98 % of.....I dunno the #. Generally it's around 700k for NYC (and other high cost areas like CT), and 400K everywhere else...

ah crapola........it's like 10 oclock and you guys are makin me use thought......

phooey to all of you marklars........

Epoxy resurfacing is your other option, but it's expensive. might as well get a new patio.
